homeownership 101

well, we're homeowners now. the settlement was this past friday and it went off pretty much without a hitch. the only hitch, if you can call it that, is that the seller had surgery that morning so she was all drugged up. but i guess the deal's still legal...

anyways, since pretty much the moment we bought the place we've been putting work into it. we spent all day yesterday buying stuff (washer and dryer, paint, tools, lumber) then spent today painting and fixing other things. we didn't even get done 1/2 of what we thought we would. and i'm wondering why we decided to do this again.

no, not really. it's going to look so cute when we're done with it. but it is (and will continue to be) a lot of work.

* special shout out to mom and jim for helping to shop yesterday and fix up today. and to margaret and angela who helped out today. you guys are the best! thanks for helping to make our new house a home.

The seller was drugged, eh? That may actually have worked out to your advantage.
